Manchester Police Blotter: Hit and Run...to Police Station

Michelle Labelle is probably wishing she found a better place to take a nap – or that she just called a cab.

According to the Manchester Police Department, Labelle, 35, of 2421 Boston Tpke. Conventry, ran into a vehicle and then drove off early Friday morning on East Center Street near Foster Street. Police found Labelle passed out behind the wheel of her car in front of 707 Main St., the address of the downtown Manchester police substation. The damage to Labelle’s vehicle matched the damage to the victim’s vehicle, and the victim was able to identify her.

Labelle was charged with driving on the wrong side of the road, leaving the scene of an accident and driving under the influence.
